We kissed the stone and we liked it!!
We kissed the stone and we liked it!! After the man spray and wiped it :)
A late start to the day…we woke up at 8.45 argg!! That’s a big no no in my books!! But we did have a late night last nite with all that River Dancing.
An hr and a bit drive from Killarney we arrived at Blarney to visit the Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney Stone. Legend has it that if you kiss the stone you will be come eloquent in speech …. Don’t think the bloody thing worked but we did it.
After climbing (very) narrow and winding stairs to the top of the castle, we had to sit on our ass bend over backwards (lucky we practiced our dance moves last nite so we were quite flexible) and kiss the stone… No mean feat! But we kissed the stone and we liked it …. So eat your heart out Katie Perry!
After spending a few hrs walking round the castle lakes and gardens (including the poison garden), exploring caves and witches wishing steps, we had lunch at a local pub, we made our way back to Killarney for a naughty indulgence of cake and coffee…. An early night for us tonight. A totally magnificent day and the weather was perfect. We actually were in T shirts all day.
